Actress and television presenter Nana Ama McBrown has advised young women experiencing divorce not to harbor resentment towards their estranged partners.
The television host, who confirmed her divorce from her ex-husband Maxwell, explained that unity and togetherness are essential for ex-partners to effectively care for their children.
“…and let our divorce serve as an example to Ghanaians that being divorced does not necessitate disrespect or insults towards one another, nor does it mean you must become adversaries,” she remarked during an interview on TV3 New Day’s The Big Issue on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
She further stated: “I wish to express my gratitude to him (Maxwell) because we share children. I advise individuals undergoing divorce to refrain from conflict and instead come together, communicate, and maintain a cordial relationship.”
“By doing so, you can meet in public and interact positively, as I cannot be in conflict with a man with whom I have children,” she added.
Discussing her marital status, she disclosed that she chose to publicly address her divorce to allow her ex-husband the freedom to move on.
“I never intended to make my marital issues public, but I want him to be free, and I wish to be free as well. Therefore, if any woman is interested in him and wishes to pursue a relationship, she is welcome to do so, as I am no longer with him.
“I am uncertain if he is ready. However, any lady should feel at ease to be with him,” she expressed.
While recounting her experience, McBrown urged women not to use her situation as a rationale for ending their own marriages, stressing that individual circumstances vary.
“No one should take my experience as a reason to divorce their husband. We are all unique individuals with distinct situations. Consider it carefully before making that decision.”
McBrown also encouraged women to achieve financial independence, stating that while support from a man is advantageous, women should be capable of standing on their own.
“I will motivate every woman to strive for independence without relying on a man. While having support from a man is beneficial, it is essential to be self-sufficient in his absence.”
McBrown’s frank comments illuminate her own experiences while providing valuable guidance to women regarding autonomy and prudent choices in their relationships.
